Professional to work with

Steve was highly recommended to me from another attorney, and his professional manner and knowledge of the law has been outstanding in handling of my out of state case. I would highly recommend Steve for his ability to follow up and keeping you up to date in the status of your case. Always reliab...le in answering your request in a favorable time manner. If I had to make a selection for a lawyer in any up coming or future legal matter, Steve would be my first choice.

Client Review

I can safely recommend the services of Stephen Photopoulos. He provided me with assistance and advise during the separation from a previous employer. He represented me at the employment hearing and subsequently represented me through a successful appeal process. He charged a fair price for his... services and was helpful in arranging convenient payment options. He worked with me and my Patent attorney to make sure I did nothing to compromise my intellectual property rights. His knowledge and persistence saved the day for me. He walked me through each step of the hearing process and kept me informed as we went through the appeal process. He helped me to collect the necessary witnesses and documentation to win.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
